When a parallel plate capacitor is connected to a battery, the voltage across the capacitor increases as it charges. The battery provides a potential difference that causes charges to accumulate on the plates, leading to an increase in voltage until the capacitor is fully charged.

How does the presence of a capacitor in parallel with a battery affect the overall circuit performance?

When a capacitor is connected in parallel with a battery in a circuit, it can store and release electrical energy. This can affect the overall performance by smoothing out voltage fluctuations, filtering out noise, and improving the stability of the circuit.


What is the total voltage of batteries connected in parallel?

When batteries are connected in parallel, the total voltage remains the same as the voltage of a single battery.


IF capacitor that has been connected across a battery for comparatively long time becomes?

If the capacitor isn't punctured or failed, then it becomes charged to the voltage of the battery almost immediately after it's connected to it, and stays that way.


What is the voltage when batteries are connected in parallel?

When placing voltage sources in parallel, the total voltage is the same as the individual battery's voltages. For example: If I was to place 4 "AA" 1.5 volt batteries in parallel with a life of x hours, the out put would be 1.5 volts with a life of 4x hours. note: never place batteries in parallel that are not in the same condition (charge, voltage, ect...).


Describe the response of a capacitor when connected to and then disconnected from a battery?

A capacitor that is suddenly connected to a battery will charge to the battery voltage. The time to do this is dependent on the current capacity of the battery and wiring, and the capacitance of the capacitor. This represents an instantaneous short circuit, which lasts for a (usually) very short time - but damage could be done if there was no resistance. A charged capacitor that is suddenly disconnected from a battery will hold that voltage. The length of time it will hold is dependent on how much leakage current there is.


Two voltage sources can be connected in parallel when they are equal in?

Voltage sources connected in parallel should have equal voltage. Otherwise the stronger battery would attempt to charge the weaker creating a lot of heat and depending on the type of battery there is the chance of explosion.


Why are capacitors parallel?

Capacitors are said to be connected together "in parallel" when both of their terminals are respectively connected to each terminal of the other capacitor or capacitors. The voltage (Vc ) connected across all the capacitors that are connected in parallel is THE SAME. Then,Capacitors in Parallel have a "common voltage" supply across them giving: VC1 = VC2 = VC3 = VAB = 12V


How does a capacitor work in various industrial and domestic appliances and examples of capacitor in use?

Capacitor is connected parallel to the line which serves as power factor correction, increase line efficiency, voltage stability and reduced line losses and voltage drop.


How does the voltage of a double battery compare to the voltage of a single battery?

The voltage depends on how the two batteries are connected to one another. If they are connected in a series circuit (positive end to negative end) the voltage will double. If they are wired in a parallel circuit, (It


Why potential difference is same for each capacitive connected in parallel combination?

Because it is simple phenomenon of electricity everything(resistance,capacitor,inductor) connected in parallel holds the same voltage across the each parallel element.


What is the meaning of electronic capacitor?

A capacitor could be two parallel plates close together but unconnected, and then the plates are connected to either side of a battery. Current flowing causes charge to build up on the plates, positive on one plate and negative on the other, until the voltage across the capacitor is equal to the battery voltage. The amount of charge that has flowed in, divided by the voltage, is called the capacitance, measured in Farads.If the battery was one volt, and the charge was one coulomb (i.e. one amp for one second), then the capacitor has a capacitance of one Farad.Usually capacitors are measured in microfarads or picofarads.


What is the effect on the supply current if the capacitor removed?

It depends on how the capacitor is connected and whether the supply voltage is a.c. or d.c. Assuming you are talking about a power-factor improvement capacitor (connected in parallel with an inductive load, supplied with a.c.), then the supply current will reduce.
